We have had quite a few groups over the past few years that have tried it, both summer and winter. Depending on what you are looking for, they have good trout and muskie. Only negative is its a flyin with 3 other lodges on it and you are limited on the amount of weight you can fly in with. That's the comment I heard from our new guests that tried it in the summer. In the winter it's a nice quite trout lake, just a long ride to get into it. If you try it good luck.

Have been up there probably 12 times in the past 10 years. We have boated a 53 1/2", 52 1/2", and several 48" muskies. Trout fishing is great, as well the large-mouth and northern fishing. Good size lake with lots a water and structure to fish.

The resort is first class. Meals are great, boats are kept clean, cabins are clean and updated. The staff are wonderful. Guides are knowledgable, and if you go out on your own, they are good at pointing you in the right direction.

As to the weight restrictions, you can always pay a little more to bump up to a larger plane. The most we have paid extra for the flight might have been $ 100 if you want to haul in more gear, food, beverage, etc. It's a short 15 minute flight from Nestor Falls.

I would be willing to bet that 99% of all Eskimo hub houses that are set up in less than 12' of water are either spearing or sight fishing.
They are the standard that all others are trying to catch up to.

I bought a surplus also but did not get drawn for first season. So this year I should get pulled i'm hoping.
My area is not out of control and a 3 years ago with the bad winters we were finding dead turkeys. I think we found around 8 or 9 if I can remember. They started to rebound a bit this year but now were are going to have another bad winter hope they make it and the winter is not too hard on them.
WI permit has been put in, now just have MN to apply for and SD. Going to be a fun spring.

I have one, I'm 6'2". So far i like it, seat is comfy, light weight. I rarely fish with the door closed, I like to look around, my mr heater/cooker is actually outside the tent area and it warms up nice. Keep the wind to your back

Classic, tumultuous example of two Low Information Voters, right here..
During the first GOP debate, moderator Bret Baier said to Donald Trump, "15 years ago, you called yourself a liberal on health care. You were for a single-payer system, a Canadian-style system."
"As far as single payer, it works in Canada," Trump replied. "It works incredibly well in Scotland. It could have worked in a different age, which is the age you're talking about here." -Weekly Standard
The "age" Trump refers to, is 2001. When he made that statement.
